Re: HSCC 2017 - another Imp champion
Well done to Steve and thanks to Simon for the help with the alternator bracket. Unfortunately the belt was shredded again but not until after being attacked by a Spitfire. Despite the very loud impact damage restricted to tyre marks and slight paint removal - don't know about the Spitfire. Strong c...

Re: Rally Forum (Sticky like the HSA forum)
Brings back memories of my annual trip to the Rallycross Grand Prix at Brands Hatch using complementary tickets provided by the local Rootes dealer.

Re: AutoSolo's - A great way into motorsport with any imp etc
Thinking about it I'm also not really surprised. I was just trying to get some of the talkers moving.

Re: AutoSolo's - A great way into motorsport with any imp etc

Skills learnt here will serve the aspiring motorsport enthusiast as they ascend the ladder. Come on all you who say you want to ge...

Re: Rally Forum (Sticky like the HSA forum)
That ties in with the problem I had several years ago, no smoke until after 7000rpm. You may be right about the surge but it' would be worth keeping an eye on.

Re: Rally Forum (Sticky like the HSA forum)
A rather heavy smoking engine. What piston rings are fitted? Be interested to know as I had similar problems under load several years ago which were eventually traced to the piston rings.

Avenger makes a very good rally car but without spending masses of money will struggle to be competitive with either the lighter Sunbeam or the Escort. Definately a bit more straightforward than the Imp although you may need to resort to non standard parts for performance and reliability - Ford gear...

Hi, Just asked about he rings as I've had a similar problem with a new engine. These were Deves rings which I had found previously to be superb even when fitted to worn bores. After perservering I stripped the engine to have another look at the rings. I had fitted them but at the time I was not sure...

My Clan will be out on the circuits again this year. Have registered for the 750MC Roadsports and the first race will be at Brands Hatch on 1st April. Not sure if I will do all of the rounds but also hope to do at least a couple of races on the Continent again. Also a possibility of entering for Mr ...

Hit a sore point there didn't I. I'm not rubbishing your figures just stating that in my opinion, and based on 20 years of both rallying and racing a Clan, the figure you quote is not a true reflection on the cost necessary to prepare a competitive Clan. I think Eds comments would confirm my opinion...

What rubbish - £10,000 to build a Clan. Get real if that's the case then I have £30000 sitting in my garage - must up the insurance. If you were serious you would have checked out the Clan site for Clans for sale. Of the specialist Imp based cars they are the cheapest you can get. £2000 or less woul...

Gerry, One thing that comes out of all this detailed cost analysis is that there's no such thing as cheap motorsport. Also too much detail is not healthy for ones other half! What it all boils down to is enjoying yourself and I think like me you've got the right attitude. As an aside this little dis...

Gareth, Originally Roadsports car had to have a current MOT and consequently a good number were road registered and I know of some that were driven to the circuit. Current regulations require the car to be capable of passing a MOT. This year I did obtain a MOT for my Clan and taxed and insured it us...

Best of luck in drumming up entries. However, I think you hit on the problem with low entries with mentioning that entry fees are nudging £100. As regards to being cheaper than racing I beg to differ. It may appear initially to be cheaper, particularly when compared with the cost of the Historic Sal...
